Huybrechts works hard to return to top form: 'In terms of practice I'm playing my best darts ever'
PDCFriday, 11 December 2020 at 19:21
Kim Huybrechts is one of the three Belgians who will appear at the PDC World Darts Championship next week. Dartsnews.com gauged his expectations.
For Huybrechts this is already the tenth consecutive World Championship in which he participates.
“Whether it's my first tournament or my 100th, I am always quite nervous. During the matches, it is usually not too bad, but when it goes all the way to the end, everyone has that adrenaline I think."
Huybrechts' best performance at a World Championship was on his debut in 2012, when he reached the quarter-finals. “That is also possible this year! I cannot complain about my draw in the first round against Di Zhuang, although I will certainly not underestimate him. There are also other opportunities. I think every player wants to avoid the "big 3", being Gerwen, Wright and Price, I'm pretty far from that. "
Still searching
'The Hurricane' already showed brilliant form in the past, but has dropped somewhat in the world rankings in recent years. At the past World Cup of Darts, however, he again showed some great performances.
“At the moment I am in my best shape ever in terms of practice. But it doesn't always come out in the games. Is it the expectations? Is it the uncertainty? I'm still trying to get it back to normal. When I explode on stage like that, I will leave again and as soon as that is there I am convinced that I will go back to the top-16 and top eight of the world rankings. "
Belgian World Champion?
In addition to Huybrechts, there are two Belgians at the start of the World Championship with Dimitri Van den Bergh and Mike De Decker. What is the chance of a first Belgian world title?
“Never say never, I myself still have to work hard to get to the top level again, Dimitri has a very tough draw with Luke Humphries (if he wins his opening match against Paul Lim. Mike only plays his first World Championship. It will all have to fall into place, but there may have been stranger things happen in the latter stages of the World Championship. ”

- He looks very healthy. I doubt he can run or anything. You need carbs for that. Carbs fuel your brain also. It is the preferred energy source for the brain. Carbs get broken down into glycogen fuel for your muscles. As a rider I totally need carbs. However for a dart player who doesn't need a brain or be fit this diet is perfect.medinabello23-12-2024
